Exegesis
The accusative pronoun auton {αὐτὸν | au-tón} identifies Jesus as the object of the questioning, while the neuter accusative ouden {οὐδέν | ou-dén} ‘nothing’ functions adverbially with the infinitive, specifying that they did not dare to ask anything at all. The sequence ouketi + imperfect indicative + complementary infinitive portrays a settled, habitual restraint that has now come into force, emphasizing that after Jesus’ authoritative answers, His opponents completely ceased interrogating Him.
In context — Luke 20:40
For they no longer dared to ask Him anything .
